Slow preview on second monitor

Hello
I'm using two monitors with LR5, and the second monitor is the preview screen.
I find the preview on the second monitor to be painfully slow in both the Library and Develop modules:
1) If I am the Develop module, and I move to the next photo, and zoom the preview to 100% (or if it is already at 100%), it take a minute, literally, for the preview to display correctly.
2) In the Develop module, sometimes the display does not update correctly at all. If I adjust a slider on the Details tab, however slightly, the preview then updates almost immediately.
3) In the Library module, if I switch the main window to single photo view, and view 100%, then, as I browse the photos, the main window updates very quickly, but the preview window lags behind.
I'm working with Fuji X-Trans RAF files, and this maybe this si the issue? JPGs update almost immediately in the preview window in both modules.
Does anyone have a similar experience?
Mike

Sounds like this problem:

AE CC 2014 mercury preview on second monitor suddenly lost

Hi
First mercury preview was working fine on my second system monitor and through blackmagic (beside the lack of scaling the image through BM)-
Then because AE suddenly had a problem with initialising Media Core I un-installed AE and re-installed again.
Now I don't have the mercury preview on my second monitor anymore! (I need it because only this way I can monitor scope format)
The preview of standard HD works fine through Blackmagic instead!
Anyone knows how to solve this (urgent)
Thanks.
Regards,
Uli

Hi Tim
Thanks for getting back to me about this issue.
Actually this is a minor problem, or none at all.
What is a bit frustrating that Blackmagic won't do any scaling. Aja does a pretty niche job.
This is mentioned in the AE_video_preview document as well.
The point is that it is possible because Davinci Resolve does it with the same card.
Best regards,
Uli

Feature Request: Preset Preview on Second Monitor

Currently, when you have monitor 2 set on "Loupe" mode and it is set for a "Live" view, and then scroll across the filmstrip on monitor 1, you can see the images change on the second monitor.
I would like to have the ability to set monitor 2 on "Loupe" mode with a "Preset" view, so you can see the effects a preset will have in the larger view, as you scroll over the presets you have created on monitor 1.
The ability to see what effects a preset will have on an image is a great tool. The only issue I have with it in its current condition is the size of the preview window. IMHO, being able to see how the image would be effected full-screen before having to actually apply a preset would take this feature to another level.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards, JML

This is an absolute must.

Preset Preview on Second Monitor

I would like to take this opportunity to submit a feature request that would make it possible to preview how a preset would look like on a second monitor. As it currently stands you can preview the effect in the small image above the preset list. Unfortunately it can be difficult to judge the effect a preset will have on the image because of the relatively small image your previewing it on.
It would be sooo nice to be able to see the preview on a second monitor, and will cut down on the number of times a preset is applied and then removed because I didn't like how it looked when seen on the larger image.
BTW, thanks for making it possible in LR3 to filter and/or create smart folders based on Focal Length. It is greatly appreciated!

Video preview through second monitor

I'm running PPro CS5 on a mid 2010 Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card. The card can feed up to 3 monitors - of which I have two connected right now. In Encore I can choose to preview from either monitor, but in PPro I seem to get only two options - 'None' and 'DV'. In CS3 (on a PC) I used to be to enable this with the Desktop setting.
How please do I set things up to find my second monitor? I have updated my Mac's software (which should pick up the latest approved graphics drivers), so I don't think it's an ATI problem.
Thanks very much
Julian

Here you go Jim. A little cramped for me having the main Premiere interface on one screen, but it will do for now. If I can get the third screen running, I wn't really need my MX02 Mini - which doesn't yet work properly on the Mac anyway...
Good luck with making your system work this way. Let me know if I can help further.

Previewing with second monitor

all I want to do is burn video to dvd. I want to make sure that the media is within the title action safe area. I made a video for my girl and it looked fine in the safe area on my lcd monitor but when I played in on my HD tv it was beyond the safe area. I've been looking at Blackmagic Intensity Pro
HDMI Capture Card and DeckLink SDI but am at a loss when it comes to the second monitor.
my questions are:
what would be the most budget minded setup to do this?
can I hook up a regular hd tv in order to preview?
using after effects for the edits

Hi Civolis,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are having issues with video and connection to a second display for use with your MacBook Pro. In this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article to help resolve your issue.

How do you move Mail, Preview to second monitor?

This is probably a dumb question... I have a second monitor connected to my Macbook Pro. I can move Chrome and other programs to second monitor by dragging them there. I'm unable to drag Mail, Preview to the second monitor.....
What am I doing wrong?

Do you mean ---
To a second monitor, or to a third, "grade" monitor?
How "most" people are doing it... among the now 1.4 million licensees of FCP, I can't really comment. I don't think there are that many grade monitors in use, fewer users of even external monitors. For two-monitor setups, the use of a 2xDVI GPU is the way to go, but the video is NOT conditioned for broadcast display, at least up to this version, and not likely to change until Snow Leopard, when the 1.8/2.2 issue is rumoured to be addressed.
The preferred method that was envisioned by the engineering team was to use an AJA or Blackmagic AV-SDI interface, so that all the up/down/cross gamma and colourspace and framerate and resolution issues could be taken care of by somebody else.
There is a landslide of opposition to this because "proper monitors and video interfaces are too expensive". So "many" people gaff-tape and Rube-Goldberg "less expensive" solutions using computer graphics displays. They run into a lot of problems, not restricted to, for examples, an inappropriate contrast ratio, non-standard spectral response, and incompatible third-party color profiling which completely garbles the output.
It is an extremely complex problem. At the moment only SDI is supported, FireWire will likely never happen as it doesn't have the bandwidth to be useful.

I'm about to buy a 27" i-Mac. I would like to connect my 30" Cinema Display to it as a second monitor. What will I need to do that? Will this slow down the overal performance?

The new iMacs do not come with a MiniDisplayPort, they have Thunderbolt, so unless you are talking about purchasing one of the previous generation iMacs such as this refurbished model in the online Apple store, it won't work. And yes, if you are going to get the full range of video resolutions you will need the Dual-Link version.
For details see the store's web page on the Dual-Link display adapter.

How do I get photos to preview in a second monitor on Bridge CC?

This question must have been asked here before but I wasn't able to find the answer. Sorry if this is a repeat question...
How do I get photos to preview in a second monitor on Bridge CC? It's harder to find the answer this than I expected it to be.
Thanks.

Thanks, Curt. I wondered if that was it.
In other CC applications I can detatch the tab and drag it over. I guess it's not that bad to do the stretch, though.
Thanks again.

Preview highlight and shadow clipping mask in second monitor

Hi, I'm new in the forum and just starting with the new LR3. I have a question about to preview highlight and shadow clipping in the second monitor, becouse I can't check the mask clipping in my second monitor as in the LR2... Is there a possibility to change it to preview the mask in the second monitor?
Thanks and regards
Daniel

Yeah, thanks.... but I mean that when you are in develop mode and you try to see the highlight or black clipping mask, red or blue, now in LR3 only appears in the main monitor, not in the second monitor as well like in LR2... Maybe I'm not explaining very well the difference...

Second monitor canvas preview

I have a Sony TV that has HDMI in and I would like to use this as a preview monitor. Can I just run a DVI/HDMI cable from the tower to the tv? Or is there another way?

but you can use a dvi-hdmi cabel to use the TV as second monitor
All this does is create a second computer desktop hanging off of the computer graphics card, is this what the OP wants?

Lightroom 3Beta slow to load to second monitor

I have been blaming a slow computer for this problem but I compared the loading to lightroom 2.5 and it has no problems.
I hsve a nvidia 512mg card which my hardware guy said should be more than enough.
My photos are kept on an external drive but this is no different from 2.5.
Any suggestions.
I also have an export problem to CS4 but have read you are working on that.

I apologize, I'm a little confused by your response.
Are you saying your primary monitor is a wacom, and is viewing an image in Loupe mode?
If so, what is your second monitor, and what are you viewing there?
Also - what size is each monitor, and what resolution do you have set for each?
If I'm misunderstanding, please clarify.
Thanks,
Becky

Very slow web page scroll on second monitor

I have two monitors. When I move firefox window to the second montior - scrolling of web pages is very slow. Sometimes it freeze computer (I can not move the mouse cursor).
I was checked other applications like MS Word, Chrome.
This problem is only firefox problem.
This problem apears when the part of firefox window is showing on the second monitor (even 50 pixels)

I have 3 monitors, and had this problem on the two that weren't the primary. Turning off "use hardware acceleration" worked, *BUT* only after I restarted Firefox. Thanks to those who found this workaround!

How can i have a full screen preview of my photo on second monitor? I mean i want to live broadcast the result without save the file

I want to see the result of my editing on the second monitor for broadcasting

Window > Arrange and right at the bottom New window for (your file name)
You can drag this across to the second monitor, and work on either window. The results will be reflected in the other window. You can have each window at different zoom levels, so It's a useful trick for seeing an overall result of making a local edit while zoomed in.
Note: if your dual monitor workspace has panels open on the second screen, they will obscure the new window. So you would need to change the workspace back to something like Essentials.

Playback slow on second monitor.

I am posting this in hardware because this is not just a premiere issue. My second monitor, which is identical to my first monitor, plays videos very stuttery.....Sometimes it wont, but most of the time it does. WHen playing back with windows media player or vlc media player, same thing. Premiere has the issue and so does windows. So I am wondering what the cause could be? I have updated nvidia drivers on my gtx285 to the latest. I have reset all settings I can think of.....
Thanks,
MrD

Phew....
